Since that time, Callahan has heard that there is the continued pursuit of the idea that Long Lake would take over the Rebers property. The Mayor concurred that he too had heard the same. Callahan stated that it is undesirable to engage in mediation or discussions unless the Council has a clear idea of what they are trying to attain. Mayor Grabek agreed with this and asked how-this matter could be discussed in an executive session.

Mayor Grabek asked if the Council wanted to discuss this matter now or hold off until later. He stated that he would like to get resolved the sewer plant property and not talk about annexation of any other part of Orono, which he opposes; he is opposed to annexation of the sewer plant. He is willing to discuss someway financially, politically, community- relation wise to facilitate or resolve to Long Lake's only property in Orono and meeting certain codes. Getting this out of the way would lead to 8
